# Clementine Crate Cupboards Use Recycled Produce Boxes for a Creative DIY Wall Shelf By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-03-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-wall-shelf References: [recyclart.org](http://www.recyclart.org/2013/03/clementine-box-shelves/) & [kparkerdesign.wordpress](http://kparkerdesign.wordpress.com/2013/01/06/clementine-box-shelves/) With materials lying around the house, anyone can create a gorgeous DIY wall shelf, even if they have absolutely no furniture construction knowledge. Using a wooden clementine box, the kind that can be found in many supermarkets, Kaitlyn [Parker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit) of KPdesign added a new [shelving unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-modern-shelving) to her wall with an artistic twist. No modifications need to be made to the box, however, before mounting it, giving it a coat of paint will transform it into a work of art that will visually enhance the decor in a room. Parker used black and white paint to create a graphic pattern that makes her DIY wall shelf work with the rest of the art in her home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Upcycling:** Unlocking the potential of discarded materials to create new and unique products. - **DIY Home Decor:** Empowering individuals to customize and personalize their living spaces with their own creations. - **Sustainable Design:** Integrating eco-friendly practices into product development to reduce waste and environmental impact. ### Where This Applies - **Home Improvement:** Opportunity to offer innovative DIY home decor products and solutions. - **Furniture:** Exploring new manufacturing techniques and materials for creating eco-friendly and customizable furniture. - **Retail:** Opportunity for supermarkets and retailers to promote and sell upcycled and sustainable products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Folding Steel Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pli-steel-wall-shelf.md) - [Abstract Jigsaw-Like Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectator-shelf.md) - [Clock-Accented Shelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omega-shelf.md) - [Versatile Modern Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utility-shelf.md) - [Sleek Wall Organizer Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mdf-boards.md) - [Dynamic Storage-Display Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelf-life.md) - [Removable Plate Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gere-multifunctional-crockery-shelf.md) - [Discreet Folding Shelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-shelf.md) - [Floating Stacked Storage Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kgt-wall-unit.md)
